Summary for 2005 Volvo S80 Diesel Saloon 2.4 D5 SE 4dr Auto
This 2005 Volvo S80 Diesel Saloon 2.4 D5 SE 4dr Auto is offered to you directly from Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions who are the original owners from new.
This car has covered 41796 miles from new. The full HPI check showed no record of any major accidents, as can be seen (for free) on the clear HPI report. This car also comes with a history, and a valid V5 document. An independent RAC Body and Mechanical inspection has been conducted, for which the full details can be accessed from the left-hand side menu.
The Volvo S80 is a decent long distance cruiser. The cabin space is first class and the refinement is excellent. The seats are big and comfortable; everything on the dashboard is accessible and clear to understand. The boot area is also impressive so luggage is easily accommodated. The D5 common rail diesel engine is superb. It produces 163BHP and will return approximately 43MPG using a five-speed manual gearbox. Cabin noise is minimal, long distance journeys are effortless and it is a real alternative to equivalent German competition.
Finished in Metallic Silver with full Black leather interior, this example has been fitted with full screen satellite navigation and a car telephone kit as optional extras. This SE model comes with dual climate control air-conditioning, 17-alloy wheels, electric windows, electric folding wing mirrors, headlamp jet washers front fog lamps and a radio CD player. The drivers seat is fully electrically adjustable with three different memory settings. Both front seats are heated and have lumber support. The steering column is reach and rake adjustable; it has a front centre armrest/storage compartment. To aide the driver, it also has dynamic stability and traction control (DSTC), rear parking proximity sensors, cruise control and ABS brakes.
This is a good example of a good quality reliable car. It comes with full service history, an MOT until April 2009 and we have both remote control keys.
The handover agent looking after this vehicle is Nick.
